After hardship comes ease

A grateful heart is a peaceful heart. The one who is ungrateful is spoiled and discontent.

We should be grateful every day, and I am. But instead of instructing my readers on the historical inaccuracies surrounding Thanksgiving, I'll let myself fall into the cultural trap of talking about thanks at this particular time of year.

This has been a very rough year for my family and me. Two of us spent some time in the hospital. Or three, counting my daughter-in-law. And that was the greatest blessing when she gave birth to my little granddaughter.

Every day I am thankful to be alive and productive. Some days are better than others, but all are good.

I thank Allah for everything He has given me.
